Parâmetros biológicos de fêmeas adultas Amblyomma cajennense alimentadas em coelhos tratados com bioterápico ultradiluído

Abstract

The biotherapics are considered homeopathic medicine because are produced in agreement to the homeopathic pharmacotechnic being diluted and dinamizated. To evaluate the effects of ultradiluted biotherapic on biologic parameters of Amblyomma cajennense ticks, 8 rabbits, about 3 months old, were divided into 2 groups of 4 animals each: treated and control groups which received biotherapic 30 DH potency (Hering's decimal) and 30DH physiologic serum, respectively. Following, the animals were infested with 10 couples A. cajennense and treated again. The ultradiluted biotherapic was made with A. cajennense male and female adult ticks. Significant alterations were not observed on biological parameters of females A. cajennense fed on rabbits treated with the biotherapic, when compared to the control group. New tests, involving other host species and the attendance of subsequent infestations should be developed to evaluate the therapeutic / profilatic potential of the ultra-diluted biotherapics on infestation of the domestic animals.
